I do not have a bottling bucket and my primary has another beer fermenting in it. Is it ok for me to use a SS brew kettle as my bottling bucket? I want to transfer the beer to it and prime in the kettle rather than the carboy. My brew kettle is 7.5 gal so it is large enough for the whole batch.

I bottle in batches of 12 bottles. I don't need the spigot to fill one batch of bottles, as the bottling wand does an excellent job of stopping the flow, but at the end of the batch, I cap the dozen bottles, refill the bottling tray with the next dozen drained bottles, take a dozen bottles from the sanitizing bucket, and put them in the draining bucket, and add another dozen bottles to the sanitizing bucket.

Turning the beer flow off at the spigot while I do this makes it much easier.
